My 8 year old son is absolutely obsessed with LOL and even has an account himself (he only plays bot games and is never allowed on the chat). He has come up with this idea of a skin for Garen (his favorite champion) and has asked me to share this with RIOT. Hope you all get as much fun from reading it as I did :)
:o Yes pls!
Dear Robert,
your idea for 'Universe Garen' is astro-nomical! I like the way you thought about his abilities and how they could be incorporated into the theme of Space Exploration, particularly the ultimate where a whole Satellite falls on your opponent. Did you have trouble deciding what to make his sword? We did when we tried to think of what to make Astro-nautilus' anchor.
The description of Garen's death animation is also really cool; that's a nice touch that really shows you're imagining the whole package. If you feel like taking your idea further you could describe a custom recall and some lines for Universe Garen to say. You could even describe a scene for the splash art to really round things out.
I'll show your idea to everyone on the skins team tomorrow, we can't promise that it will be made into a skin for the game but I'm sure they will really enjoy your work. Keep a hold of the original design too; I'm 32 now and I wish I still had some of my video game drawings from when I was younger.
Thanks so much for playing LoL and taking the time to come up with a skin concept. Your concept art made my day >:D

I chuckled at "universe GARON"
...Can we have a buzz lightyear Garen skin?
We do need more astronaut skins IMO.
A kid that actually knows how to write in cursive
Holy crap, he must be smart
ho that is so cute :3
So I'm not a professional artist, and I tried to punch this out in about 5 minutes, but I took a shot in the dark at what it might look like.
Basing it mostly off of Galactic Renekton, Buzz Lightyear, and Steel Legion Garen.. Here's my drawing (sorry for horrific handwriting): http://i.imgur.com/p6PFwlZ.jpg
I love how his E is called "SPINNING WORLD" and its literally just the earth spinning in motion.

But really though, 8 years old is probably a little too young to be playing LoL, with all things considered.
So cute. I remember the days that I was trying to design castles in minecraft. I like how he includes the RP cost too. Getting the important things down......
as soon as I saw this. http://i.imgur.com/XSwGW1C.gif
10/10 would love to get a satellite dropped on me by Garen in game.
It would be an honor to get to play with him, I wouldn't even care that i was playing with bots! Such creativity, and I love that you control his environment to play, you are parenting right!
I'd buy it simply for the reason behind the creation of the skin. He clearly put a lot of thought into it and even tried to make it as neat as possible for us. The concept itself clearly already has us sold. And yes, whether the skin looks amazing in the end or not, just price it at his desired 1150 RP. That's generous even for him. Jaximus was and still is admired from you. This is another great opportunity to show how much you actually do care about the community of LoL. Also, this skin doesn't have to mean that any kid-requested skins in the future have to be granted. It's not bad to spice things up once in awhile!
Think about it, Riot!
This skin is genius!! Yet I think the w should be Atmospheric Protection and the e should be Orbit otherwise it's super cool dude!
